I would replace the coping. Less sq footage to demo and you can really put in something nice looking

Spray adhesive - and get more than the instructions call for - it's not enough and not something you do half way then pick up the next day. Nice to have 2 people to install it as well, one to hold and feed the roll, one to do the install - spray your areas about 6-8' ahead (generously) so it...

Love our pool, Wilbar mfgs many brands. We have installed all of our piols, this one 7 years ago I believe. ovals are more difficult than round. Use a transit or other device to be sure you are level, take no shortcuts on that. Do yourself a favor and use some type of pad or foam base (we...

Most have found you get a better pool by avoiding the all inclusive kits. They under power the filter and over power pumps, you need bigger filter and 1hp pumps are just fine. Look for a merchants with good BBB online ratings, read their reviews. I got mine from ProPools, but there are dozens...

Now is the time for those fantastic brainy calculatin fools to jump in, they are always extrapolating something x something / some other thing and seems like they can come up with a decent guestimate based on numbers - 65 degrees x 24K gallons x 12 hrs of averaged 73 degrees x etc, etc -

Do you have a heat source like solar panels or gas heater or heat pump? What temp will the fill water be, upper 50s - lower 60s? How many gallons is the pool? All are factors. Could take several days to a week or less with a heat source AND in all cases you will need to have the pool covered...

Gorilla pad is very strong, nice and thick - rocks will not break through it. I would still try to pick out any larger gravel/rock items though - maybe rake your base a bit before laying it?

We have the Gorilla pad - it's wonderful, comfy on the feet and strong. Also, it comes in one piece so no spliced pieces. You already have a level base? Then the GP should be fine - it is intended to be the base without another pad under or over.

We had an overlap liner with our small round pool. Easy to adjust, more forgiving if you are in a hurry and cheaper. We have used unibead or jhook for our oval, looks nicer with the IG styles, jhook method is pretty easy as well, or can be used with bead receiver. I like the looks.

Wow you have a lot of work ahead of you! You will love your new pool once it is in. We did a step by step of our replacement pool build several years ago when we went from round to the larger oval http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAZvDSFUoVo It is an interesting process and the biggest thing...

no ideas, just WOW already

I believe nutgrass is a southern issue. Some weeds and roots may cause problems but the installers will do site prep and shave off the sod down to firm base. Just be sure they watch for level from side to side all the way around. Lots of folks dish their pool center or end a bit. A lot is a...

There may be but that's pretty darned close to what we have.

We built ours with Trex level with the top, leaving a gap. Love it, no maintenance required

The experts will be along shortly to give the official word - however, I'm not seeing the UV sanitizer keeping the water clean enough as a regular source of maintaining sanitation unless you plan to use the Bromine more regularly than just as an occassional shock when you leave home. I believe...

I am in agreement and would add that even though stored the integrity of a vinyl liner for re-use is highly questionable after it had been drained. They shrink and tend to get brittle after being used and drained, even if stored. Lining up skimmer and return holes properly is nearly impossible...

We had our replacement liner ordered from PCPools.com and had very good service and fast delivery. We have ordered many items there.

I'm guessing you have an overlap liner? With a round pool the pressure goes iutward equally on the sides so shouldn't collapse a wall. Once the water is at about 8-10" below the skimmer/return you should be fairly confident the liner isn't going to move anymore so can put the coping strips and...

Oh you guys will be so happy when you can finally just jump in - SPLASH!!!!

Re: AGP install coming soon.. There is light at the end of the tunnel and it will be shining on you and your family enjoying a dip in that pool! Time to polish up your POP (Pool Owner's Patience) ha

Can you post a picture? We've had some people who think their walls are coming in and but they aren't - the liner will stretch in. It REALLY helps to fill the pool on a hot sunny day - that liner will really get soft as butter and stretch so nicely when it's hot and sunny (sun is THE biggest...

Re: AGP install coming soon.. YES it is worth it, but it just doesn't seem like it now. It will later when you are saying for the umteenth time, "I love my pool."

Oh I'm thinking along these lines too - trim some trees, add some solar plumbed from a sunny spot - way easier

Dang you are a productive person! How do I get some of what your drinking in the morning??

Wow you are really on your way to enjoying your new pool!!

Your plan for the site prep sounds fine. Be sure to get things level - Sounds like you are on the right track with a good plan to get your pool up and running. Post more pix as you progress, we love to see those. Once filled, go ahead and post your numbers. Having hard well water doesn't...

Good news that you are all ok and you are getting your test kit - now you will be ready to hit the ground running

Omg what a beautiful job you did on that!! You need to have a cold one now!

I vote swg too - we also have also have a Goldline system

Ok, I'm just gonna give my TC here - I believe with an AGP you need to make sure your pump and filter are lower than the return? Other than than, don't know if there would be an issue with the pool setup. Good luck!
